It needs to be said that the act of observing with the mind should not be underestimated in it's power and importance. Animals in nature are constantly observing, they are constantly vigilant, and they are always ready to adapt to changing circumstances. This is of course done using their mental as well as their instinctual faculties.

The Logical Ajna gates (4 & 17) are looking forward and planning, whereas the Abstract Ajna gates (47 & 11) are contemplating their experience and processing. Both are very active in their mode of observation, just in different ways. The Individual Ajna gates (24 & 43) are about watching over the great changeovers from Yin to Yang, and from Yang to Yin. Notice that the 43 is right AFTER the 1, and that the 24 is right BEFORE the 2.

Remember that on the level of Tone, the 3-4 Ajna binary straddles that powerful and mutative dividing line between the Left and the Right. This is what being observant and able to adapt to changing conditions and circumstances is all about. When you follow the dividing line of Tone all the way down to the base, it could be considered as a kind of "Sacral" of it's own. This dividing line is all about frequency and vibration, or rather, sounds... just like the Sacral itself. Observing the ever changing and shifting influences within this vibratory field is very important if you want to be able to skillfully adapt to changing environments.

Source can very much be considered as this dividing line. There is a kind of ambivalence as to whether "Source" is masculine or feminine. The Void in Lf500 is obviously feminine, but what is Source? Masculine? I argue that it is both of them in a very dynamic embrace, which of course would correspond directly to the dividing line of Tone and also to Individual Circuitry.

There are key Human Design concepts being used in the Allies of Humanity books (link at the bottom). Can you spot them and delineate it? It's very powerful, and you should already know about it. I've made videos about it (Circuitry & Beyond and A Deeper Look at the Throat Center, Individual Circuitry & Mutation, links below).

Take this in, from Allies of Humanity:

"Here you can begin to see that your visitors are very vulnerable in certain areas. Let us explore this further. Individually, they have very little will and have difficulty dealing with complexities. They do not understand your spiritual nature. And they most certainly do not understand the impulses of Knowledge. The stronger you are with Knowledge, the more inexplicable you become, the harder you are to control and the less useful you become to them and to their program of integration. Individually, the stronger you are with Knowledge, the greater challenge you become to them. The more individuals that become strong with Knowledge, the more difficult it is for the visitors to isolate them....

"In the Greater Community, spirituality is embodied in what we call Knowledge, Knowledge meaning the intelligence of Spirit and the movement of Spirit within you. This empowers you to know rather than only believe. This gives you immunity from persuasion and manipulation, for Knowledge cannot be manipulated by any worldly power or force. This gives life to your religions and hope for your destiny.

"We hold true to these ideas, for they are fundamental. They are lacking in the collectives, however, and should you encounter the collectives, or even their presence, and have the power to maintain your own mind, you will see this for yourself.

"We are told that there are many people in the world who wish to give themselves over, to give themselves away to a greater power in life. This is not unique to the world of humanity, but in the Greater Community such an approach leads to enslavement. We understand that in your own world, before the visitors were here in such numbers, such an approach often led to enslavement. But in the Greater Community, you are more vulnerable and must be wiser, more careful and more self-sufficient. Recklessness here brings with it a heavy price and great misfortune."

End of quotes...

There is always a great emphasis in these Allies of Humanity messages on the importance of the Individual, Freedom and Knowledge, i.e., Individual Circuitry and the Knowing Circuit (specifically the 39/55 channel). There is great criticism of what's called "Collectives," i.e., Collective Circuitry, and that individuals operating solely within these "Collectives" have very weak wills, are very uncreative and are unable to handle complexity and Knowledge in a meaningful or respectful way. They are purely out for themselves and use all manner of deception to obtain what THEY want.

This is very important and actually coincides with the year 2027 as being a year of maturation and mutative potential with certain HD predictions, but it also happens to be the focal year that Bashar says "contact will take place." Hmmm, very interesting coincidence that. I think it would be important to prepare for this. Through what means? Through KNOWLEDGE. The 39/55 Channel of Liberation and Freedom is dawning, and it would be wise to align with it’s meaning (and the meanings of all Individual gates and channels) as much as possible.

So here is the issue. Individual circuitry and direct KNOWING (knowing circuit) is very very important. Individuals that lack direct knowledge and knowing within themselves often seek refuge within collectives and give their will over to them (just like how Collective circuitry does not touch the Heart Center, meaning that it has no will of it's own).

Individual Circuitry is the balance between the Left and the Right. It is our direct connection to Source, if you want to call it that. It's how spiritual Knowing actually comes into existence. This is true for everyone even if they do not have a single Individual gate or channel.

"The religious traditions of the world speak well for you in their essential teachings. We have had the opportunity to learn about them from the Unseen Ones. But they also represent a potential weakness. If humanity were more vigilant and understood the realities of life in the Greater Community and the meaning of premature visitation, your risks would not be so great as they are today. There is hope and expectation that such visitation will bring great rewards and will be a fulfillment for you. Yet you have not been able to learn of the reality of the Greater Community or of the powerful forces that are interacting with your world. Your lack of understanding and premature trust in the visitors do not serve you.

It is for this reason that the Wise throughout the Greater Community remain hidden. They do not seek commerce in the Greater Community. They do not seek to be part of guilds or trading cooperatives. They do not seek diplomacy with many worlds. Their network of allegiance is more mysterious, more spiritual in nature. They understand the risks and the difficulties of exposure to the realities of life in the physical universe. They maintain their insulation, and they remain vigilant at their borders. They only seek to extend their wisdom through means that are less physical in nature."

Take note of the use of the word "vigilant" here, and remember the Vigilans in Letters from 500.

"You can withstand this power because of the presence of Knowledge within yourself, the Knowledge that the Creator of all life has placed within you. For it cannot be persuaded. It cannot be deceived. And it cannot be corrupted. You will need to gain access to this greater Knowledge if you are to remain free and to develop wisdom and maturity in the Greater Community..."

"You see, individual freedom is not valued by the visitors. They consider it reckless and irresponsible. (Note the importance of Freedom and Knowledge as it's connected to Individual Circuitry and also the Aeon card, Horus the Child. Your spiritual inheritance is incomprehensible to these beings as they do not possess the profound noble sovereignty that these symbols represent.) They only understand their own collective consciousness, which they see as privileged and blessed. And yet they cannot access true spirituality, which is called Knowledge in the universe, for Knowledge is born of an individual’s self-discovery and is brought into being through relationships of a high caliber. Neither of these phenomena are present in the visitors’ social makeup. They cannot think for themselves. Their will is not theirs alone. And so naturally they cannot respect the prospects for developing these two great phenomena within your world, and they are certainly in no position to foster such things. They only seek conformity and allegiance. And the spiritual teachings that they will foster in the world will only serve to make humans compliant, open and unsuspecting in order to garner a trust that has never been earned."

"...your spiritual predispositions and ideals are being greatly manipulated at this time. There are entire teachings being introduced into the world now that teach human acquiescence and the suspension of critical abilities and value only that which is pleasurable and comfortable. These teachings are given to disable people’s ability to access Knowledge within themselves until people reach a point where they feel they are completely dependent upon greater forces that they cannot identify. At that point, they will follow whatever is given them to do, and even if they sense something is wrong, they will no longer have the power to resist."

Sounds like all the Law of Attraction material. Though it's based in certain truths, it is terribly lopsided. How beings like Abraham Hicks and Bashar talk to people who are suffering is what bothers me the most. Like the medical establishment, they blame the patient, telling them that they are "attacking themselves." It's like a spiritual auto-immune disease. They do not WANT you to have real knowledge, real self empowerment, real answers...

"The visitors are fundamentally practical in their approach. This is both a strength and a weakness. As we have observed them, both here and elsewhere, we see that it is difficult for them to deviate from their plans. They are not well adapted to change, nor can they deal with complexity very effectively."

Like Bashar giving the same damn answer to every question for the last 30 years.

"Bashar, I have fibromyalgia." "Follow your excitement!"

"Bashar, I have anxiety and depression." "Follow your excitement!"

"Bashar, I've found a pervading belief system that is quite pernicious in how it's affecting the self determination of my species.""Follow your excitement!"

After uploading this video and then thinking about this solar eclipse the rest of the day, I went to bed that night and started reading the third Letters from 500 book, Amen. I'm over halfway through it, and when I started reading I was literally only two pages away from the next chapter entitled "Hole in the Heart." Of course Leo rules the heart of the body, the Sun rules Leo and this total solar eclipse is within the heart of the Leo constellation itself. This chapter of the book is about a ritual offering of one's heart, to put a sacred "hole in your heart." It's described in a way as being the "whole in your heart," that within this hole is the whole. And by allowing this "hole" to be opened in the heart in this very deep way opens up the cosmos within and connects you to a larger Soul group. A conscious divine linkage is made that transcends all time. Also note that the 29th Gene Key, the hexagram this total solar eclipse is taking place within in Human Design, has the shadow of Halfheartedness and the gift of Commitment, which you could also think of as Wholeheartedness! Commit to this transition. Offer your very heart and your life to it, and it will change you. This is a very blessed and sacred passage. Embrace the opportunity it is offering.

I experienced very powerful synchronicities during the last New Moon that were all about bees. New Moons mark new beginnings and a stepping into new territory. But what is a total solar eclipse? It is essentially a very powerful New Moon where the gap between the old and the new can become quite wide, many times in an emotionally challenging way. This is where the power of Commitment to Change comes in. If one commits to the path in front of them, to move through this emotionally powerful and turbulent time with faith and trust in life, then a great transformation and merging with a much larger scheme can unveil itself. From Letters from 500: Amen (where I literally picked up right before getting to the Hole in the Heart chapter), Robert is asked by the character Black to give a gift to a future generation after dropping into the Void (dropping into the Void is a sacred act they perform very often in the books. Also note the "Leaping Into the Void" keynote of the 29th Gene Key, originally called "The Abysmal" in the ancient I-Ching) and he is confused about what he could possibly give:

..."What can I bring her? What do I have that she could possibly want? I'd be happy to give her anything in my power to give, but I don't know what."

..."Give her your heart and soul. Give her your living essence. Give her your Life!This is the only thing you have to give."

I am taken aback."B, Im not sure what you're getting at. Give her my life? Really? That's a tall order. Nevertheless, I'll do my best to be open and hear you out."

"You will be participating in an ancient, mystical tradition that has always existed in some form. I'm sure you've heard of the process whereby future forms of one's soul return into the past to assist in a given lifetime, as spirit or angel guidance. O, of course, is that for you. There is yet a more profound expression of this. What is not so well known is the practice of pastlives influencing and assisting futurelives - and bestowing upon them gifts. Through the agency of their soul's presence, they can offer up themselves to higher fulfillment. It is all in the family, so to speak. These offerings require intense commitment and transcendence - soul bridging. They require intense presence, and hence ceremonial ritual.

"It has become customary among certain schools of vigilans to have visits from their former incarnations at the time of initiation. There is a profound reciprocal effect in this interchange; the previous selves benefit as much as the immediate ones. Humans, from theirperspective, normally do not remember these experiences, except as dreams. But I must tell you these are no ordinary dreams! Some humans realized what was happening and found ways within themselves to honor the dreams and to visit their future incarnations intentionally. Those individuals, while unaware of the full extent of the benefit, were blazing trails into the awakening of their entire race. Every bridge you build, every portal you open, aids the whole race."

Just now the Threshold is gleaming around us, inviting us to be absorbed into its mystery. I think of my gift... and of dying; I remember my brushes with death. It's not so bad, you know.

Black reads my thinking and says, "I'm not asking you to die; not in the physical sense. I'm only suggesting that you give up your Life, surrender your portal into Source to your future self."

I chuckle, "That sounds like the same thing to me."

"Not at all. Dying is leavingthe world. What you would give... is an act of joiningthe world, the new world of hermaking. You and she will make it together."

... Suddenly I am flushed with the presence of my own soul... I'm not being asked to make this decision alone!

... With a joint voice I now speak, "I do not need to hear words tell me about this gift. I now realize that the gift must be made from the heart- before the headknows the explanation. I freely commit to this gift, whatever it means. I feelthat with all my heart and soul. I invest my whole Life into the initiation of that little girl, who is my very soul flesh and soul blood. I surrender."

... "We hear your soul speak, dear presence. We are grateful beyond measure for this 'gift beyond price.' You are giving us the 'pearl' of your essence. Be assured, persona, there will be no loss to you, at all. Only gain. You will see."

... She reaches down, taking both my hands, and declares, "Let us now enter the ceremony."

I can only wonder. We begin to move in a way I've never experienced before. We seem to be entering the Void, but we're remaining still. The feeling is like being sucked into myself, an implosion into a central vortex inside. We are irresistibly moving and yet standing immovable, perfectly still. I emphasize the word 'perfectly.'It is yet another encounter with paradox.

My consciousness is turned inside out. I feel light shining from every pore. I'm radiant beyond light and darkness. The whole Cosmos is inside me, and yet it is all so simple. The near Oneness makes it so. I sense the Threshold everywhere, woven into the awareness of this state.

From this simple, infinite self I can wrap into and around the Void. The presence of true power grows out of this simplicity. My soul crumbles and reveals behind it, the raw supremacy of Emptiness. I know Source asSelf. My words are phantoms as they attempt to describe what I sense, slipping and sliding on the frictionless terrain.

I will stop here just to comment on the profundity of this synchronicity. For those who are not aware, Letters from 500 is a trilogy of books that were written whilst in contact with a group of beings from 500 years in our future. The author can pose questions, and these questions are answered through his own writing of these "letters." He is very hesitant to call it "channeling" though. He discusses his own powerful series of synchronicities in the beginning of the first book, and how these writings originally came to be. It was very much as if he was in dialogue with other beings speaking through him, and not only was he in dialogue with them, but also experiencing quite rich shamanicjourneys in combination with the teachings. One of the overarching themes of all three books is the human ego and its progressive passing away during the time we're in, a time they call the Great Storm.

The part of the book I've just quoted is what leads up to the 'Hole in the Heart' ceremony of the next chapter two pages later. I will only quote a few more passages from this current chapter called 'Place of Knowing.'

..."You know the answers, all of them, in the place of knowing. This is where it is; you are 'where it's at.' There's no other place that matters.

"Nevertheless, for the letters, I will explain. This 'ceremony' is the space of sacred realization and connection with destiny. It is a transformation - as you have already sensed - of your form, in order that you may deliver your gift appropriately to your future incarnation. It likewise is much more than that: You are transforming your human life in preparation for awakening - you and millions like you on the Earth of your time. Now hear this: You are awakening!

"We are putting words on paper in these letters to assist in the stimulation of waking dreams, lucid and vibrant in your so-called 'waking' life. Your species believes, of course, it is already awake in habits and routines, its 'news media' and its political dramas. But in reality it is still fast asleep - with the emphasis on 'fast.' The pace of information is increasing, accelerating to a frenzy. Soon it will reach escape velocity - the speed of light.

"Your race is dreaming of what it fears. Fears, alas, must still guide the current collective vision. We, the appointed guides of your race for this epoch, would instill another kind of dream now, prior to your true wakefulness - a dream of fearlessness. You know, of course, these things must progress in stagesin the world of form and time. So, at this stage we would instill a lucid dream of transformation and revelation into your current slumber. From this dream you can gradually, finally, come awake. It is an easing of your path, a letting go of resistance.

... "The letters, I must say of course, are not the only portals for you species' new dreams. There are many weaving themselves, as we speak and write, into the awareness and dreams of humanity. But, make no mistake: These letters are playing their seminal part in the preparation of the Earth. They bring with them a lessening and lightening; it is up to you, the readers and appreciators, to then generate the lightning.

"Into your waking dream, this ceremony is inserting the presence of peace, and the identification with newness. It is a rebirth of your etheric form. From this form, you will now commence to offer your gift... Let it now be so: 'Bloom' in place of doom."

This concludes the 'Place of Knowing' letter before the 'Hole in the Heart' letter on the next page. I would recommend getting all three books and reading them in order. It is fairly necessary to read them in this way, otherwise much of the context will be lost. Though, there is so much power and clarity in the writings that one would still gain a lot from reading the books in any order they please.

The books strongly concern our relationship to Angelic aid, and also spirit helpers. In my video discussing the bee synchronicities of the last New Moon, I also discuss what I call the "Collective Daemon." Please watch the video to fully understand what I mean by this terminology. Everything is connected, which is why there is a lot of self referencing to other videos I've done in the descriptions. This is a very powerful discovery process that is now reaching what some might call "singularity" or "the Omega point." It is where the two worlds of Leftness and Rightness in Human Design, being the phenomenal world of things and the spiritual world of No-Thing, strike a powerful balance. This is a grand synchronicity taking place that is bridging the old and new, while simultaneously highlighting the sharp contrast between them. It is a portal, one I would not miss participating in with full commitment and as much devotional awareness as one can muster.

Of course it barely needs mentioning that this symbolism is reminiscent of ancient Mayan sacrificial rituals where an individual's living heart was removed at the top of certain Pyramids during solar eclipses. This connection is discussed in the 'Hole in the Heart' chapter of Amen (Amen has a strong connection to the stabilizing effect of pyramids, to the Sun and Solar energy, and also Mars and Martian energy). You could think of the Mayan sacrificial ritual as a literal,physical acting out of a sacred spiritual principle, whereas what we are experiencing here is a reversal of that script. The 'hole' or whole is being placed within the heart, not the heart being taken out of the wholeness of the body (the body itself is a perfect symbol of Union). The identification with the outer world of form and time is dissolving, and the Veil of Forgetting is subsequently falling. ​

Concerning Leftness being connected to "the observer." It is connected to the observer in terms of the collapse of the wave function and collapse of probabilities. It's connected to the Outer Vision of the 3rd Tone and seeing out into "The World" in and of itself, being the world of Leftness and the Splenic reality; the world of Things. The true observer, though, is actually in Rightness. Leftness is more "what's observed." It is what's active within the environment, what's seen. What does the actual seeing in a very broad peripheral sense is within Rightness. It's just that you can use different language to look at this subject depending on which direction you're coming at it from. Ra connected the observer to Rightness and what's being observed to Leftness, which makes sense as Ra used this language of Left-Observed and Right-Observer when talking about the Design Nodes, being the external environment. So how I'm using the word "observer" when discussing Leftness isn't incorrect at all, I'm just looking at it from a different level.

It needs to be said that Strategy and Authority is an extreme over-simplification. It also makes it very easy for people who are "certified" to lord this knowledge over people and claim ultimate authority over the meaning of their lives. Say for example I'm a generator, and I don't necessarily feel how they say I'm SUPPOSED to feel about certain things. They can then just say that I'm "not self" and that I'm "not living correctly," that I'm "not following my strategy and authority" and that I'm just an "unevolved 7 centered being." See how sick this is? HD is powerful and highly accurate, but again S&A is an extreme over-simplification and has caused many people to run around in circles confused about how to "live correctly," worrying about their own thoughts and decisions constantly, ad nauseam. I've seen it over and over again. There is also the MIND BASHING issue in human design, where if you use your mind in any way to make a decision, especially if you're a generator, then you're somehow "not self." Be very careful with this knowledge, especially with "certified" practitioners. Just because you're certified doesn't automatically mean you know everything about someone's inner being, and it is VERY tempting to make that assumption. Compromising people's authentic connection to their own mind and emotions is the number one strategy cults use to brainwash newcomers. Ra had a lot of things right, but he also had a lot of things dead wrong. He was a human being, he had an ego, and he certainly did take it upon himself to program the people closest to him with very enticing, albeit very limiting and destructive, belief systems and memes, and from there they have spread. What makes them so dangerous is the element of truth they contain which lets all the poison pass through unnoticed.

I've made huge impacts with things before, and I was not pushed into it by a manifestor, nor am I a manifestor myself. I've guided people before and I also don't like working into the wee hours of the morning and really need my sleep, but I'm not a projector. How does that work? I must just be "not self" right? I must not be "living correctly." I don't do the whole "uh huh" and "uh uh" thing at all. My sacral doesn't make sounds like that... that must mean I'm "not living correctly." This kind of rigid dogmatism is making elitist snobs out of certified analysts and is really hurting and confusing their clients.

Another serious problem in human design is the fear mongering of your open or undefined centers and the propagated myth that they "are not you" and "can never be trusted." This is so dangerous, telling people with an undefined solar plexus that they "have no emotions," or someone with an open ajna that they "have no mind" or that all their thoughts are "random and meaningless." You must understand that this kind of arrogant recklessness of interpretation is on the same level of licensed healthcare professionals telling people with chronic illness that their body is attacking itself. It's not only false, it's a dangerous and limiting belief system that can actually stop you from healing.

Open and undefined centers vs defined centers is all about consistency. You still have emotions with an undefined solar plexus, they're just of a different form and consistency. Every undefined center in HD has all these extremely negative attributes associated with them, for example if you have an undefined heart you're "always trying to prove yourself." I've known ego maniac compulsive liars with defined hearts, so how's that work? All these rules in HD are not written in stone, and you need to be careful not to put yourself in a little box just because of certain general truths concerning your body graph. Opened and undefined centers can very much reverberate another person's presence if they have those centers defined. Simply being AWARE of this inhibits possible conditioning. You don't need to fear your open centers, they can actually teach you a lot. This idea that all your emotions come from other people if you have an undefined solar plexus is utterly false. Your emotions just have a different consistency. They can be felt intensely and can come on quickly, then they can leave just as quickly or linger if you're really wound up, but this does NOT mean these feelings are not yours. Yes it's possible to pick up things from other people very easily through your open centers. But this doesn't mean you need to fear your open centers or that they're "not you."

There are "certified" projectors running around telling everyone that a defined sacral is something to be very suspicious of, to fear and not trust. Projectors are also being told by certified analysts that they are parasites. Words cannot adequately express how sick this is. It turns out that this knowledge in the hands of certain people is like giving a monkey a loaded gun and saying "here, go help people." They don't even really know what they're holding, all they know is that its sparkly, shiny and incredibly seductive. If HD is about being unique, why is there this pressure within it with all these rules and assumptions to tow the line and be the same. Why do they use clever and surreptitious shaming tactics, i.e. you're "not self" and "not living correctly" if you ever have a bad day or if you don't experience your defined sacral in the way you're told to experience it.

I know of projectors who stay relatively busy and they are not energetically compromised, they're just fine and not only that, they're thriving. I myself am a generator and I like to take it easy. I take naps, I need to get to sleep at a decent hour, and I don't like long long hours of work. If you can't think outside the box, human design will very cleverly put you in one while convincing you that you're breaking out of it. Yes there are general truths in the types, S&A and within defined vs undefined center information, but just like in the matrix (which is another way of saying the Maya), some rules can be bent, and others can be broken. These supposed inviolable rules and behavioral codes of conduct are not the same for everyone by a long shot.

Understand that when I'm talking about orders, groups and organizations and how they aren't "needed," that this is coming from someone with a 3/5 profile in Human Design. This profile is inherently anarchic (a la the 3rd line) and may see serious problems with hierarchies, groups and organizations more readily than other profiles. Certain people, particularly those with Left Angle crosses, i.e., transpersonal personalities with lines 4, 5 and 6 in the upper trigram, may see a greater need for groups, organizations, orders, etc., and hence may trust them more. There is nothing wrong with cooperation or learning from those more experienced than yourself who have some amount of what you could call authority. Having role models is important. The problem is when they attempt to tell you exactly how you should live your life and employ punishments and shaming tactics to "keep you in line" if you don't do as you're told. This strict hierarchical way of living may have had some kind of stabilizing effect within human societies at some point, but it has also been a safe haven for abuse and a breeding ground for megalomaniacs, sycophants and psychopaths for god knows how long.

Capitalism isn't the problem. It's crony capitalism being a marriage between industry and government in order to corner the markets. The government stealing from everyone through taxation and lowering the quality and standards of life and making it near impossible for people to start let alone maintain businesses and pay decent wages is the problem. Open your eyes. Please listen to this talk about what the federal government is doing to education through Common Core, because they're so "altruistic."

I would be lying if I said this mix I made below wasn't inspired by an "astral walk" I experienced on mushrooms when I was 16. I heard the most beautiful music, it was enveloping and pouring off of everything, the plants, the ground, the air, the night sky, and much of the music I've made and mixed from that point onward (not all, I get inspired by many things, like childhood dreams) are basically attempts at recreating what I experienced that night in some way.

Technology and the trial & error of technological development is also very much correspondent to Gemini as it is an expression of that grounded mental acuity being expressed through elaborate physical processes that advance over time. Think of the duality of the Hook and Flail again. One cannot make advancements without making mistakes and miscalculations. There will always be set backs on the road, i.e., the Flail part of the equation that eventually adds to the accumulated Wisdom of the Staff or Hook of the shepherd showing the way forward. One can see how adherents of scientism in a sense want all hook and no flail. They are phallus worshipers in that sense. One can also understand the transhumanist obsession with "immortality" in this way. They want all Hook, no Flail. Death is "murder by nature" to their mind, when in reality it is an integral part of the process of growth. Without death, life stagnates, and there may indeed be "advanced" races out there who have taken this path only to deeply regret it later. I can think of no hell worse than being imprisoned by a technological immortality in the way many transhumanists imagine it to be possible and "within our grasp."

Mercury rules Gemini astrologically, and some feel that Mercury Retrograde brings greater risks of accidents and technological breakdowns with computers etc, but can also bring fundamental miscommunications between people. I'll talk more about that and our actual *addiction* to technology (it's pros and cons) in the next video.

Devin Townsend's album Addicted! live, just because it kicks ten kinds of ass.. and interestingly Devin wrote this album (and many others) after quitting drugs. He said he used drugs as a crutch for so long that he didn't know if he could even write music without them... Turns out yes he can.

Trent Reznor of NIN has the same basic story, quitting drugs and being really worried if he could write music without them. Yes he can, in fact he's more proficient at it, not to mention the added benefit of being more healthy and not feeling torn to shreds every day.

Far more important than oversimplified and blatant self-recognitions by means of myths is the experiencing of their working intraphysically within our fantasies, and then through them into our ideas, systems of ideas, feeling-values, moralities, and basic styles of consciousness. There they are least apparent, for they characterize the notion of consciousness itself according to archetypal perspectives; it is virtually impossible to see the instrument by which we are seeing. Yet our notion of consciousness may derive from the light and form of Apollo, the will and intention of Hercules, the ordering unity of the senex, the communal flow of Dionysus. When any one of these is assumed by the ego as its identity and declared to be the defining characteristic of consciousness, then the other archetypal styles tend to be called psychopathological. - James Hillman ~ Re-visioning Psychology

Yes, the movie The Edge has the "black guy dies first" cliche. I apologize for that lol.Damn nature! You scary! The Edge is an alright movie. I just watched it again after having not seen it in ages, and my discussion of it might make it seem more profound than it really is. It's the symbolism that matters though, and it's there if you look for it, much of which might not have been placed purposely either.

This needs to be said. I am not against science or technology. What I'm talking about is the obsession with it. Many people are narrowly fanatical and fundamentalist about science and technology in the same way religious cults like christianity 2,000 years ago had fanatical adherents who were quite belligerent and were taking over Europe by force. It always boils down to the "big daddy" issue of who is winning and who is losing. 2,000 years ago christianity was winning, so narrow minded fanatics leaned in that direction without investigation or questioning church fathers and the foundations of their beliefs. Now science is winning, so these same narrow minded fanatics are leaning in that direction without much investigation or questioning of their "church fathers," i.e., white coats with letters after their name. These are the new "infallible" ones, just as the pope was "infallible." Their word is gospel. All investigations that deviate from THE WORD are heretical and to be burned at the stake, and as long as the one with the shepherd staff who is winning the day is followed no matter what, one feels very secure in their being. And of course if you threaten that security you will be ruthlessly attacked as if you just tried to yank away someone's security blanket in an insane asylum.

Get over the fact that it's Fabio and just listen. He's not the only speaker either. People are battling this scientism problem all over the world. The extreme amount of ego wrapped up in it is literally killing people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuNr06BuXkk

The issue has to do with what is "established." Ego is wrapped up in it, prestige, position, seats of power, authority, hierarchy, etc. (Think inverted/negative Hierophant as opposed to upright and healthy) This is a CURSE within science and progress itself, all while claiming to be the opposite. Look at what "the establishment" did to Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis. He was the one who discovered that since doctors were never washing their hands that they were spreading infections between patients and many people were dying because of it. When he started telling people to wash their hands after autopsies, for example, before going back upstairs to help deliver a baby, and also to sterilize their tools, they SHUNNED him, drummed him out of the medical profession, told him what he was saying was "voodoo," that he was superstitious, made a laughing stock out of him, and he ended up dying in an insane asylum. THIS is what the establishment is good for. They only trust "what is established" and literally nothing else. They hold anything outside of the establishment that isn't "official" in such contempt, and are so suspect of it, that it clouds their thinking to the point of sheer pathology.

We are seeing this problem, again, with skeptics attacking the obvious great success Chlorine Dioxide is having in curing the symptoms of Autism in children:https://youtube.com/watch?v=UcTMge7MOH8

To skeptics I would say this: What do you think about modern science's great advancements in cancer treatment? It's got peer reviewed studies on it up and down, it's "tried and true," it's very much established and part of the establishment. All things you love and trust. I'm talking about chemo of course and how it's based off of mustard gas.... Yes, mustard gas. I know people who have taken very small amounts of laundry bleach in water to pass drug tests (roughly the same starting amount a person takes of Chlorine Dioxide). They didn't die. But Chlorine Dioxide isn't even laundry bleach. It's safer than that. Here's an idea. Compare the MSDS (material safety data sheets) of chemo therapy cocktails and Chlorine Dioxide. I guarantee that the chemo cocktails will look like a nightmare compared to CD. There is a double standard within the skeptics mind that needs to be addressed. If it comes from "authority," it's always good no matter what. If people are independent of the established order who do not have some god-like "pope of medicine" standing over them, waving his magic wand to make everything "acceptable," then it isn't to be trusted. Rather it's to be attacked. Many have said "they will not rest until chlorine dioxide treatment is stopped forever." They cannot look at the evidence for some reason, and in fact many of them act as if they themselves are on the autistic spectrum in that they cannot read human emotion. They see testimonial after testimonial of parents overjoyed to have their severely autistic children back to normal, and they think they are all "fake" and "liars."http://cdautism.org/miraculous-video-testimonials
